The series focuses on Michael Raines (Jeff Goldblum), a mentally disturbed LAPD detective, who interacts with imaginary manifestations of dead crime victims in order to solve criminal cases. Raines must deal with his unique, unintentional method, as it causes problems with his co-workers and in his personal life.
The first two episodes aired on Thursday nights (March 15 and March 22) at 10:00 PM Eastern Time during the timeslot normally occupied by ''ER''. The third episode aired eight days later, taking up its regular Friday at 9:00 PM timeslot.
On May 14, 2007, NBC announced its schedule for the 2007-2008 television season. ''Raines'' was left off this list, and has been officially cancelled.^[2]
